My next target was Animal Crossing: Wild World, another game with no official soundtrack release and a subsequently massive gamerip to get through. As such, I was unable to finish by my usual deadline; but I was sufficiently impressed to be as thorough as possible. Kazumi Totaka is once again...

Twice on the first page, the thread was inactive for a period and opened back up with "please revive this." I had the thought that some regular postings would keep the thread active enough to inspire more consistent contributions from others; from there it became a hobby (and to be fair, it has...

Nyanposu - The Magic Straw-Hat Jizo (Staff Role Arrangement) This may not sound like much on the surface, but I'd consider it amongst the most noteworthy finds on this thread. It's one thing to do a zunish revamp of a Touhou composition, either in the style of another game or just switching up...

In my ongoing endeavors to familiarize myself with the music of various popular franchises, I sought to tackle the original Animal Crossing this week. Or leastways I hope it was equivalent to the original; in seeking out composer credits, I began to wonder how distinct the initial Japanese...

Shoop - Swim in a Cherry Blossom Colored Sea From the channel's full label, I anticipated a basic eurobeat performance of the track, and was instead met with a chill synth mix. Just as well; IMO this sort of piece works better at lower energy levels. Nuekawa - A-Un Now this is a eurobeat, and a...

I probably shouldn't be featuring Blade Chimera without having showcased Drainus, but the notion had struck me and I'm sticking with it. Team Ladybug's music has been consistently handled by Peposoft, and past projects have borne shared elements I've come to attribute thereto. Yet I detect less...

pigdevil2010 / Pigu - Dreaming Butterfly Pigu's arrangements remain my standard for chiptune remixing; Kommisar pushes the hardware to its limits, and HertzDevil stays faithful to its original form, but Pigu explores its potential with creative restraint, striking a balance between the possible...

Stijn van Wakeren is a composer I've kept tabs on for some time. Initially I found the name attached to Heartbound, and was sufficiently impressed by the music therein that I took time to seek out a discography. I determined Wakeren tended to work on colorful indie projects, providing...

A_RukaP - Bibliophile with a Deciphering Eye I've yet to find a remix of this piece that impresses me more than just slowing the original down a bit in an audio editor. But I couldn't very well consider that a rearrangement, so I've found something that mixes things up in a satisfactory manner...

Does "Madness of Visages ～ Horrible Night" count for my purposes here? I've felt obligated to consider uniquely named arrangements of tracks as unique instances, mainly so as not to discount "Dream Battle" or "Master Spark," but thereafter it's caused some confusion with such tracks as this. If...

Wanderstop got on my radar via its trailer music, and I made note of its release for the purpose of retrieving its soundtrack. It wasn't till I'd started listening through it that I noticed the composer to be Daniel Rosenfeld, a.k.a. C418; this didn't mean as much to me as it might to some, but...

Last week's feature was postponed due to my own stubbornness; despite past experience suggesting otherwise, I somehow thought 14.8's arrangements would have a decent degree of representation. But even Touhou Arrangement Chronicle was unable to dredge something up for me, so I'm forced to...

I've become increasingly reluctant to touch anything new from Nintendo as their business practices become more and more concerning on multiple levels; at a certain point, quality of product does not outweigh hassle and ethical dubiousness of accessibility. Nonetheless, I am making a slight...

Hollow Knight has long been my favorite game of all time, an experience I've not yet forgotten. Its world is just the right balance between having a clear goal and having no real idea of direction, resulting in the most authentic exploration experience I've ever encountered. Like many others, I...

Just typed out the whole OGM feature for today, was clicking through tabs to paste the links, and accidentally closed the forum tab, deleting the whole thing. I'm too mad to redo it right now, so it'll have to wait till tomorrow.

Licorice Lab - HAZAMA Odd name perhaps, and certainly an unusual direction to take such a piece as the original, but the resulting performance stands on its own merits. I wouldn't call this lo-fi, but it has the same sort of listening experience. stixel - Outsider Cocktail I kinda want to keep...

LATE! Full day yester', but I had my stuff prepared so it's honestly still my bad. No matter, though; Imma get it out one way or another. Fox had an Undertale stream for the anniversary that involved some bonus music, and I figured I might as well commit to the month's theme and get some of...

LSD - Bakeneko I suspect this is the kind of choice that would become polarizing in different contexts, but at this point I'd be remiss not to share such unusual finds when I come across them. Plenty of vocal arrangements can be compared to anime OPs, but in this case there's something of an ED...

About time to cover Deltarune Chapter 3: Late Night. Had to take my time with it, 'cause the OST was bundled up with Prophesy, and I wanted to address them separately (don't expect that feature for a while yet). I don't usually have to worry about spoilers in these features, being unaware myself...
